Trash or damp smell: No one wants these smells in their home and this natural solution will always keep it fresh.
Needless to say, regular cleaning of a home is crucial to maintaining a fresh and pleasant environment. However, there are situations where we need an extra helping hand: a trash bag that could not be immediately taken out of the house, an interior bedroom that cannot be ventilated, a baby’s room with diapers dirty or mold that has accumulated in winter.
Industrial deodorizing products, often loaded with chemical compounds, can harm indoor air quality and cause allergic reactions. Their environmental impact, linked to production and recycling, also raises concerns. To help you get rid of common household odors in a healthy way, here is a guide on how to deodorize a room with natural air filters. To do this, follow these steps:
- Fill a spray bottle with the following recipe:
- Mix well 30 to 40 drops of essential oil of your choice with one and a half tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate
- Introduce this mixture into the spray bottle and add 700 ml of water
- Spray the entire house with the minimum intensity of the spray so as not to wet the surfaces too much
You can customize this natural home air freshener with any aroma. Each essential oil has unique properties, so be sure to choose one that suits the space you’ll be using it in. To create a welcoming, personalized atmosphere in each room, consider using a variety of essential oils. In the bathroom, eucalyptus and peppermint provide a feeling of freshness and cleanliness. For the living room, sandalwood or patchouli create a warm, earthy ambiance. In the work space, lemon and rosemary stimulate concentration and energy. Finally, for a peaceful night in the bedroom, chamomile and lavender encourage relaxation and sleep.
